Well, I don't guess he'll see this before he gets back from SHOT, but the rest of you should have the benefit of our public thanks to Gale (Mac) McMillan. George Hill and I spent an extraordinary hour with Gale at his booth at SHOT Show. While the sons and Staff worked the crowd, we retired to a comfortable couch/armchair area with the Boss himself. This was an experience of a lifetime.
Mr. McMillan's experience and expertise in barrel and stock design and manufacture, optics, night vision, learning and life is almost beyond explanation. He is truly one of the giants among us and certainly one of the more engaging persons I've met in a very long time. We spent that hour chatting about sighting systems, barrel design and maintenance, night vision, TFL, freedom and life. I think I speak for George also when I say I was spellbound.
So, for you piss-n-vinegar types that have most of the answers, when Gale talks, you best listen. He has much to teach, as he's constantly learning. As most of you know, Gale had a real medical scare at the end of last year. He has since received positive news, but is not out of the woods yet....though I'm confident of the outcome. Regardless, it's that time again....TFL Monthly Dues!
We don't care if you believe in God, Allah, Buddah, Providence, Crystals or Pyramids. For the coming weeks we ask each of you to take a minute out each day and direct your thoughts to Gale. Send up a little thanks to him for the man he is and a little prayer for him for his continued health.
Thank Mac,
Rich Lucibella
